10th Edition - MARCH OF CHONK

[dapperswain]

I SAID IT - I MEANT IT.

With more spaces opening up in the Leviathan tournament and my progress on this absolute travesty of a list being faster than I thought...  I'm posting this list for review.  

Everything I have for marines comes from value boxes, so I have a limited pool to select from.  In a good news/bad news situation, my beloved Desolation Marines are now looking to be on the oppressive side of overpowered.

The Dream was too beautiful to live.  I was surprised to find my draft list with 9th edition points survived into 10th edition without changes.  

I fully support the points increase for Desolation Marines from 24 to 34 per unit.  It does mean that I need to carve out 100 points from this list.  

The fast solution is to drop a unit of Heavy Intercessors.  They were meant for holding backfield objectives and surviving.  I can do the job half as well with one of the Desolation squads.  This also frees up 10 points, though not enough for Bolter Discipline for the Terminators.  

The mean solution is to drop a Brutalis, then add a Primaris Apothecary or Librarian to lead one of the Desolation squads.  Put Bolter Discipline on that leader to amp up the Desolation squad's power.  Add more Enhancements to round out the list.  

I don't have the time to paint another leader and the memes must flow, so I will probably go with the fast solution because it maintains maximum chonk.
